What they say

“When I sold my first story, I spent the next nine months or so anxiously awaiting the appearance of two magazines. Asimov’s because there I was, at long last, in print. And Locus because my appearance wasn’t fully realized until they said so. Locus is the voice and conscience of our genre.”

Locus relies on reader support to survive! Those of you who are already helping, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
If everyone who uses the site gave just $3, our annual shortfall due to shrinking ad revenue would be covered and our magazine, website, and other SF-related projects could continue. Please take a minute to donate that $3 today (tax-deductible) or support us on Patreon to keep Locus afloat!
